With just one week before the May 12 elections, the administration-backed Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas has gained commanding momentum in the latest Pulse Asia survey, confirming the growing wave of support for the Senate slate endorsed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to help him forward the agenda of unity, reform, and sovereignty.
The nationwide survey, conducted from April 20 to 24, shows Alyansa candidates dominating the race. ACT-CIS Rep. Erwin Tulfo topped the Alyansa slate with 42.4 percent, followed by former Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III with 41.1 percent, Sen. Ramon Bong Revilla with 35.6 percent, and former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson with 33.8 percent.
Also in the winning circle are Sen. Lito Lapid (32.2 percent), Makati Mayor Abby Binay (30.2 percent), Sen. Pia Cayetano (29.9 percent), Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar (28.3 percent), and former Sen. Manny Pacquiao (28.3 percent).
In the same survey, Alyansa senatorial candidates, former Interior and Local Government Secretary and multi-awarded mayor of Mandaluyong City Benhur Abalos and reelectionist Senator Francis “Tol” Tolentino who is the incumbent Senate Majority Leader, garnered 22.9 percent and 15.7 percent, respectively.
“This is a people’s surge,” said Alyansa campaign manager and Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco.
“The message is loud and clear: the Filipino people want senators who will defend our sovereignty, uphold public service, and move the country forward under a shared vision for a Bagong Pilipinas,” he added.
Tiangco said the survey results reflect overwhelming support for candidates who have shown conviction, competence and a deep commitment to the country’s interests, especially amid growing concerns over foreign interference and disinformation.
“We are deeply grateful for this trust. But we’re not letting up. We’re pushing hard in this final week to deliver a clean sweep,” he said. “With the people’s support, we can deliver all 11 Alyansa candidates to the Senate.”
“This is a battle between leaders who put the Philippines first and those who don’t. Sa Mayo 12, piliin natin ang tunay na maka-Pilipinas,” Tiangco stressed.
